Talk:Major histocompatibility complex
From Academic Kids
I moved to the upper-case spelling since it seems like a specific named entity (albeit one that is common to many species) rather one of a crowd of entities called "major histocompatibility complexes". But I don't really know. Stan 01:53, 17 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- It's definitely lowercase in most of the literature (even though it's acronym is MHC). --Lexor 02:12, 17 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- Alberts et al. Molecular Biology of the Cell (1994) cites it as lowercase. --Lexor 02:17, 17 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Histocompatibility molecule - definition
I followed a link for "histocompatibility molecule" from the article entitled "antigen" and got HTC.
Are these synonymous. If so please state it. If not what is the difference?
